What will San Francisco be like 100 years from now? The HistoryChannel sponsored a City of the Future contest for architects to showus their vision of Utopian metropolises from 2108, and the winner forthe San Francisco version was IwamotoScott Architecture, conjuring upthese wild hallucinations of a city run by geothermal power and tappingwater from the city’s ubiquitous fog.
IwamotoScott envisions the city as Hydro-Net, using “GeothermalMushroom” structures to extract heat and water from deep in the earth,and whimsical “Fog Flowers” to render moisture from the air and growalgae, which would then be turned into hydrogen for fuel. Zippingthrough underground tunnels are hydrogen-fueled hover cars, coursingthrough the multi-use veins of this future city that’s learned how tolive without fossil fuels. Hope it’s earthquake-proof.
Check out the astonishing illustrations of the future world in the gallery below. Wow.
